Scala is one of the most popular general-purpose languages that supports both object-oriented and functional programming. In this course, you will learn how to create back-end HTTP services using Scala's functional programming paradigm.

You will also learn how to develop, test, and document the service using both pure and impure ways. You will be exposed to the differences between pure and impure implementation, their respective pros and cons, and how pure implementation can be more robust in terms of performance, understandability, testability, and type safeness. 

By the end of the course, you will have a clear idea of how functional programming works in Scala and how you can use the available tools more effectively.

# Unit tests

The model tests are omitted here because they are essentially the same as in the impure section. In contrast to the tests on the impure service, _we will now write unit tests for our routes_. 

This means that we will be able to test our routing logic without spinning up a database.

## Test repository
To be able to test our routes, we will have to implement a `TestRepository` first, which we will use instead of the concrete implementation that is wired to a database.


Learn how to implement a test repository for testing our pure service.
